The victims of last week's deadly subway crash in Washington, D.C., included Mary Doolittle, a member of TNG-CWA Local 32035, known to her friends as "Mandy" and remembered as a joyous, generous woman full of good humor and southern hospitality.

Doolittle, 59, had worked for the past decade at the American Nurses Association in its credentialing center developing an international outreach program.

"She was highly committed to nursing around the globe. She was not a nurse, but she was the face of this organization internationally," ANA Executive Director Jeanne Floyd told reporters. "She was a joyful, joyful individual."

Doolittle's death was announced at the end of the CWA convention last week. She was one of nine people killed and many others injured when a Metro train slammed into the rear of a second train.
